14 Using Pedals

As with a grand piano, the NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano features three pedals: damper, sostenuto, and soft.

 Damper pedal (right pedal)

Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands have been lifted from the keyboard – greatly enriching the piano sound, while also assisting smooth “legato” passages. Soft pedal The damper pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling. Sostenuto pedal

Damper pedal

 Soft pedal (left pedal)  Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)

Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume. Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before The soft pedal of NV10S only is also capable of responding to releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that half pedaling. have been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained. When the rotary speaker effect is selected, the soft pedal is also used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between “Slow” and “Fast” effect modes.

 Pedal support bolt

A pedal support bolt is attached to the base of the pedal board to aid stability when the pedals are pushed. Preparation Turn the bolt anti-clockwise until it makes contact with the floor and supports the pedals firmly. If the pedal support bolt does not make proper contact with the floor, the pedal board may become damaged. Pedal support bolt

When moving the instrument, always adjust or remove the pedal support bolt, then readjust when the instrument is in its new position.

 Caring for the pedals

If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish-washing sponge. Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or files.

 Grand Pedal System

The NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano features the Grand Pedal System, which replicates the position and individual weighting of the damper, soft, and sostenuto pedals of a Shigeru Kawai SK Concert Grand piano. It is also possible to adjust the sensitivity of the damper pedal, and the effectiveness of the soft pedal using the “Half-Pedal Adjust” and “Soft Pedal Depth” settings.

Ref. “Half-Pedal Adjust” P. 63 “Soft Pedal Depth” P. 64.

53 Virtual Technician Technician

An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of a fine acoustic piano. In addition to meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing adjustments that allow the instrument to truly sing. The Virtual Technician settings of the hybrid piano simulate these refinements digitally, allowing performers to shape various aspects of the instrument’s character to suit their personal preferences. CHECK

Adjustable value Adjustment result 54 (1) Touch Curve Tap

As with an acoustic piano, the hybrid piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with force, and a softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation to the strength and velocity of playing – on a hybrid piano this system is referred to as “touch sensitivity”.

The Touch Curve setting allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be conveniently adjusted. There are ten different preset touch curve settings available.

The default “Normal” setting is designed to accurately recreate the touch of a Kawai concert grand piano. However, if the keyboard feels too light, or fortissimo playing is achieved too easily, it may be desirable to select a heavier touch curve. Alternatively, if the keyboard feels too heavy, or fortissimo playing is too difficult to achieve, it may be desirable to select a lighter touch curve.

Type Description Light touch curves require less striking force to achieve a forte note, and are therefore recommended for Light (4/3/2/1) players with a delicate touch. The key touch will become progressively lighter as the number increases. Normal Reproduces the standard touch sensitivity of an acoustic piano. Heavy touch curves require more striking force in order to achieve a forte, and are therefore Heavy (1/2/3/4) recommended for players with stronger fingers. The key touch will become progressively heavier as the number increases. A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are struck. Off (constant)  This touch curve intended for playing sounds of instruments that have a fixed dynamic range (e.g. organ and harpsichord).

(2) Voicing Tap

On an acoustic piano, the shape, density, and texture of the hammers all influence on the tonal character of the instrument’s sound. Technicians utilise a variety of tools such as needles, files, and brushes to manipulate these hammer felts, with the ultimate goal of achieving a balanced tonal character across the keyboard.

The Voicing setting recreates various hammer properties, allowing the overall tonal character of the hybrid piano to be adjusted. There are six different preset voicing settings available (applied uniformly to all keys).

While the default “Normal” voicing setting should be appropriate for a broad range of musical genres, it may be desirable to select a softer, more mellow tonal character for romantic pieces, or a brighter, more aggressive tone for modern styles.

Type Description Normal The normal tonal character of an acoustic piano throughout the entire dynamic range. Mellow 1 A softer, more mellow tonal character throughout the entire dynamic range. Mellow 2 An even softer tonal character than Mellow 1. A tonal character that changes dramatically from mellow to bright, depending on the strength of key Dynamic strike. Bright 1 A bright tonal character throughout the entire dynamic range. Bright 2 An even brighter tonal character than Bright 1.

56 (4) Damper Resonance Drag

Pressing the damper pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When a note or chord is played on the piano with the sustain pedal pressed, not only will the strings of the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.

The hybrid piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Damper Resonance setting allowing the volume of this resonance sound to be adjusted.

(5) Damper Noise Drag

When the damper pedal of an acoustic piano is pressed and released, it is often possible to hear the sound of the damper head touching and releasing the strings.

The hybrid piano reproduces this sound, with the Damper Noise setting allowing the volume of this sound to be adjusted. The speed at which the damper pedal is pressed and released will also influence the prominence of the damper noise, with fast pedalling creating a more pronounced sound.

(7) Undamped String Resonance Drag

The dampers of an acoustic piano span almost the full width of the keyboard. However, the topmost 18 keys (approximately 1.5 octaves) do not incorporate dampers, as the shorter strings for these treble notes decay quickly and therefore do not need to be dampened.

Damped Strings Undamped Strings

A0 G6 C8

As a result, the strings of these “undamped” treble notes are free to vibrate in sympathetic resonance with those of lower keys – independently of the damper pedal position – helping to enrich the sound with additional harmonics and tonal colour.

The hybrid piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Undamped String Resonance setting allowing the volume of this resonance sound to be adjusted.

Value Description Off Undamped String Resonance will not be applied to the selected sound. 1 A small amount of Undamped String Resonance will be applied to the selected sound.

58 (8) Cabinet Resonance Drag

While the fundamental sound of an acoustic piano is produced by vibrating strings, transmitting energy through a spruce soundboard, the cabinet of the instrument itself also contributes a variety of subtle tonal characteristics that enrich the playing and listening experience. The keybed, inner and outer rim, iron plate, and beams all play a role in disseminating sound energy, which in turn gives the piano a living, breathing quality.

The hybrid piano recreates these natural acoustic characteristics, with the Cabinet Resonance setting allowing the volume of this resonance sound to be adjusted.

(9) Key-off Effect Drag

When playing an acoustic piano – particularly in the bass region of the keyboard – if a key is played with force and released quickly, it is often possible to hear the faint sound of the damper touching the strings immediately before the vibrations are stopped.

The hybrid piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Key-off Effect setting allowing the volume of this sound to be adjusted.

Value Description Off Key-off Effect will not be applied to the selected sound. 1 A small amount of Key-off Effect will be applied to the selected sound.

When playing an acoustic piano, it is often possible to hear the faint sound of the keyboard action returning (i.e. “falling back”) to the neutral position after a key is released.

The hybrid piano reproduces this sound, with the Fall-back Noise setting allowing the volume of this sound to be adjusted.

While the default value is intended to simulate the natural volume level of the keys as they return to their neutral position, it may occasionally be desirable to adjust the volume of this sound. For example, reducing the volume when playing very soft pieces, where the fall-back noise may become too prominent. Adjustments & Settings Adjustments

(11) Hammer Noise Drag

When playing an acoustic piano, it is also possible to hear the physical sound of the hammers striking the strings, along with the sound of the keys making contacting with the piano keybed.

The hybrid piano reproduces this sound, with the Hammer Noise setting allowing the volume of this sound to be adjusted.

While the default value is intended to simulate the natural volume level an acoustic piano, it may desirable to increase or decrease the volume of this sound to produce a more or less prominent attack.

(12) Hammer Delay Drag

When playing pianissimo passages using an acoustic piano, there may be a perceived delay between a key being pressed and the hammer striking the strings.

If desired, the hybrid piano can recreate this delay, with the Hammer Delay setting allowing the delay length to be adjusted.

While the default value of “Off” is intended to replicate a well-regulated concert grand piano, with an immediate connection between the keyboard and hammers, some players may find it desirable to introduce a minor delay, in order to mimic different types of piano or instruments with a slightly worn keyboard action.

Value Description Off Hammer Delay will not be applied to the selected sound. 1 A small amount of Hammer Delay will be applied to the selected sound.

10 A large amount of Hammer Delay will be applied to the selected sound.

(13) Topboard Tap

When playing an acoustic grand piano, the position of the instrument’s topboard (lid) affects both the volume and “openness” of the tone produced. A fully open topboard allows sound waves to reflect off the polished lid surface and project into the room, while a closed lid has the opposite effect, resulting in a darker, more opaque tone.

The hybrid piano simulates these characteristics, with five different topboard positions.

Type Description Open3 Simulates the character of a fully open topboard, with maximum sound projection. Open2 Simulates the character of a half open topboard, with reduced sound projection. Adjustments & Settings Adjustments Open1 Simulates the character of a partially open topboard, with limited sound projection.

Simulates the character of a closed rear topboard and closed front topboard, with minimum sound Closed1 projection.

60 (14) Decay Time Drag

When playing an acoustic grand piano, the length of the instrument influences the speed at which held notes decay, with longer grand pianos (i.e. longer strings) characterised by longer decay times.

The hybrid piano simulates this characteristic, with the Decay Time setting allowing the length of decay while keys are pressed to be adjusted.

Value Description 1 Held notes will decay quickly.

10 Held notes will decay slowly.

(15) Release Time Drag

When playing an acoustic grand piano, the length of the instrument also influences the speed at which played (and released) notes decay, with longer grand pianos (i.e. longer strings) characterised by longer release times.

The hybrid piano simulates this characteristic, with the Release Time setting allowing the length of decay after keys are released to be adjusted.

Value Description 1 Released notes will decay quickly.

10 Released notes will decay slowly.

(16) Minimum Touch Drag

The Minimum Touch setting allows the minimum key velocity required to produce a sound to be adjusted. By default, this setting recreates the extremely fine touch sensitivity of a concert grand piano, allowing a very soft sound to be produced with the slightest of key touches. However, it may be desirable to reduce this sensitivity, when wishing to recreate the sensitivity of a small grand piano or an upright piano.

Value Description 1 A very gentle key press will produce a very soft sound.

20 A stronger key press will be required in order to produce a sound.

(17) Stretch Tuning Tap

Stretch tuning is a piano-specific tuning method used by acoustic piano technicians in which the lower octaves are tuned slightly flatter and the upper octaves are tuned slightly sharper to match the natural harmonics of an acoustic piano.

 (18) Temperament Tap

The Temperament setting allows the tuning system used by the hybrid piano to be changed from the modern “Equal Temperament” standard to one of the various temperaments popularised during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Temperament type Description This temperament is the most popular tuning method, and divides the scale into twelve equal Equal Temperament semi-tones. This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys, and has the advantage (Equal) of limitless modulation of the key. However, the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord is in pure consonance. Pure Temperament This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fifths, is still popular in choral (Pure Major/Pure Minor) music because of its perfect harmony. Any key modulation will result in dissonances. Pythagorean Temperament This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fifths, is very (Pythagorean) limited for use with chords, but produces very characteristic melodic lines. This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone to eliminate Meantone Temperament dissonance for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack of consonances experienced with certain (Meantone) fifths for the Mersenne pure temperament. It produces chords that are more beautiful than those played with equal temperament. These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with Werckmeister Temperament few accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as (Werckmeister) accidentals increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean Kirnberger Temperament temperament. (Kirnberger) It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics. CHECK

The key of the temperament and major/minor setting must be correctly matched.

(20) Key Volume Tap

The Key Volume setting allows the volume of different regions of the keyboard to be subtly reduced. There are four different damping presets available.

While the default “Normal” key volume setting should be appropriate for a broad range of musical genres, it may be desirable to experiment with different damping presets to attenuate or amplify the areas of the keyboard.

Type Description Normal An evenly balanced volume throughout the keyboard. High Damping Gradually reduces the volume of the keyboard towards the treble region. Low Damping Gradually reduces the volume of the keyboard towards the bass region. High & Low Damping Gradually reduces the volume of the keyboard in both the treble and bass regions. Center Damping Gradually reduces the volume of the keyboard in the central region.

(21) Half-Pedal Adjust Drag  The Half-Pedal Adjust setting allows the point at which the damper pedal becomes effective (i.e. when the dampers of the piano begin to lift from the strings) to be adjusted. This setting may be useful for pianists that habitually rest their right foot on the damper/sustain pedal, but do not necessarily wish to sustain the sound.

Value Description 1 This setting allows the half-pedal to start at the earliest point.

The Soft Pedal Depth setting adjusts the extent to which the soft (left) pedal of the hybrid piano softens the sound of played notes.

While the default value is intended to replicate the effectiveness of a concert grand Una Corda pedal, it may be desirable for players to increase or decrease the value of this setting to suit their playing style.

On an acoustic grand piano, pressing this Una Corda pedal shifts the keyboard action slightly to the right, causing the hammers to strike two strings instead of the usual three, thus reducing the volume of each note.

Value Description 1 The soft pedal will have a relatively small softening effect on the selected sound.

10 The soft pedal will have a relatively large softening effect on the selected sound.
